The Northern Christian Religious Leaders Assembly (NOCRELA) has commiserated with its Grand Patron and former Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), His Excellency, Prof. Suleiman Elias Bogoro, over the demise of his beloved mother, Mama Salamatu Elisha Bogoro.

In a condolence message signed by its Secretary General, Rev. Dr. Simon A.S. Dolly, KIF, HFCDA, on behalf of the Chairman of NOCRELA, His Grace, Archbishop Dr. JohnPraise Daniel and the entire Assembly, NOCRELA described Mama’s passing as a profound loss not only to the Bogoro family but to all whose lives she touched.

NOCRELA noted that the loss of a mother is one of life’s deepest sorrows, and that no words can fully erase the pain of losing someone so precious. The Assembly however prayed that the Almighty God will comfort Prof. Bogoro and his entire family, strengthen their hearts and grant them the grace to endure the painful loss.

Quoting Psalm 34:18, “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit,” the Assembly reminded the family that even in the darkest moments of grief, God remains near to the brokenhearted.

While mourning with Prof. Bogoro, NOCRELA urged him to take solace in the enduring legacy of his mother’s life, the values she imparted, the love she gave and the memories that will forever remain part of the family’s story.

The Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to peace, compassion, fellowship and the ministry of comfort, and assured Prof. Bogoro of its prayerful solidarity throughout the period of bereavement and beyond.

NOCRELA prayed that the soul of Mama Salamatu Elisha Bogoro rest in perfect peace and that God grants the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
